what you're showing is, to some degree, a graphic of "hollow ground" (i.e. concave), which is an artifact of grinding on a wheel which has a radius < infinity too busy at work now but if you care a ton and want an engineering approach I recommend this https://www.tauntonstore.com/the-complete-guide-to-sharpening-leonard-lee-070256.html …
so in trying to draw a bevel I jumped forward a century and accidentally drew concave cheeks!

one huge reason for bevels is simply that to resharpen, you only need to grind a short distance back to planar, not a long distance let me gimp...

this is a cross section of a blade imagine a chip on or near the edge (zoom in) red is material you need to grind away to restore the old profile THAT'S TOO MUCH METAL !!! too much workpic.twitter.com/ypxFjlXwNZ
